Finally Settled on My Half Marathons

I have been trying to decide on Fall Half Marathons.  I had been considering doing two that were two weeks apart. I could not figure out why I could not commit and just register.  Something just kept telling me it is not the right choice.  The Alien was at night and everything I read about it with characters jumping out at you while you run in the dark (hello every female runner's worst nightmare)  and a medal that looks like a big green alien head. It just did not seem fun to me.  This weekend I got an e-mail about the Diva Half Marathon in Peachtree City.  It is September 6th so it will be hot, but it is also 6 weeks from the Silver Comet Half on October 25th.  Also all the bling is pink and it is a girls only race.  I think that will be very empowering.

With the cost of Halfs I only do two a year.  Looks like this year it will be Diva's Half which is a series all over the country so check it out! In October I am still sticking with my plan for Silver Comet.  It is so close to home and pretty flat. Silver Comet will still be my time goal race.  I plan to use Diva as a fun training run. I mean there will be boas and tiaras!  You have to take some time to enjoy the girl power.  As soon as I decided I also went ahead and registered.  The die is cast.  No backing out now.  Nothing like summer distance training in the ATL.  I will definitely be a bad ass when this is done, provided I am not carted away with heat exhaustion! 

Have a great day.  Today I am grateful for a good job and a safe home.

  1. How funny. There's a diva's half here in September and I was thinking about that one as well. I'm not sure I'll be ready by then though and their 5k option is Friday evening, which isn't optimal with work and the traffic around here. This one might have to just be for a future year.
